Several actors and filmmakers have shared their opinions on the topic since then. And now, <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/saurabh-shukla\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Saurabh Shukla<\/a> has shared his point of view on the subject. The veteran actor expressed that eight-hour shifts are not always the solution. Let&#8217;s take a look at what he has to say.<\/p>\n<p>Saurabh Shukhla reacts to the eight-hour work shift demand<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with India Today, Saurabh Shukla opened up about his eight-hour work shift. He shared, &#8220;If you&#8217;re in a flow, I really think that, suddenly, if you&#8217;re going half an hour or one hour beyond your working hours, then you should not crib about it because, in bargaining, you&#8217;re getting much more. That continuity of thought and continuity of that flow.&#8221;The actor expressed that the time limit or the fixed shift hour should exist, &#8220;but that is not the main thing.&#8221; According to him, the important thing is &#8220;the piece you&#8217;re creating.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Shalini Pandey Backs Deepika\u2019s 8-Hour Shift Demand| &#8216;She Should Get What She Wants&#8217;<\/p>\n<p> The actor concluded, saying, &#8220;Rather than focusing on the watch\u2014that oh! It&#8217;s 6 or 8, and I have to go home\u2014focus more on the work you&#8217;re doing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Deepika Padukone&#8217;s exit from &#8216;Spirit&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Deepika Padukone exited from the Prabhas-starrer &#8216;Spirit&#8217; after the actress demanded an eight-hour work shift and remuneration hike. This led to a falling out between the makers and the actress, eventually leading to her leaving the project. Soon, the actress also left another Telugu project, &#8216;Kalki 2&#8217;, over similar issues. <\/p>\n<p>More about Saurabh Shukla<\/p>\n<p>The second season of Saurabh Shukla&#8217;s web show, &#8216;Bindiya Ke Bahubali&#8217;, co-starring Ranvir Shorey.
